How goes it?
OK, enough foreplay!
Data Update
The data update just pushed was the largest since the site went live…by a LOT. Literally thousands of events and fighters added.
Despite my best efforts I know some duplicate information still remains, for example…
Feijao
and
Britt
both appear to get credit for beating the same person twice. I’m trying to remove all duplicate fighters, so please drop a note on the forums if you see such cases. A simple note about the two fighters and which should stay and which should go will be sufficient.
Site Update
It doesn’t look like much, but I got some wallpaper samples, some paint swatches, I consulted with a couple Feng shui experts. (FUNG–SHWAY, yeah that’s how it’s spelled, google it if you don’t believe me).
Once I get the data all cleaned up, then I’ll get the site’s appearance all cleaned up. Hooray for substance over style (unless you are a hot redhead, then you can be as deep as a thimble and I won’t care).
And boom goes the dynamite
Phew. Two months apart, two minutes back together. I think if more of my relationships had that kind of ratio they would have lasted longer.
I’ll probably have an update Monday or Tuesday with tonight’s event and whatever updated information people are able to provide me.
Don’t forget to leave the money on the dresser on the way out…

Quick “spoiler alert” for those that still haven’t seen the fights or read the results or looked at the updated rankings…

Due to recent time constraints I’ve found myself in the annoying position of having more to rant about with less time to actually rant. That led me to pondering whether it’s possible for me to rant faster. Often while ranting I veer off on a tangent for several paragraphs before (occasionally) returning to the point.
My biggest fear is that by speedranting I’ll cross a fine line between ranting and raving. If I do cross such a line, please pretend this rant was called, “An attempt at speed raving” and that it was a huge success.

YYYYAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNN
*sniff sniff…scratch scratch* OK I’m awake…what more do you want from me?
I hope everyone had a happy whatever they celebrated and accomplishes anything they have recently decided to do! (PC enough?)
As long as I don’t hit the snooze button and go back to sleep for another few weeks I’ll be doing a lot of updating (and a bit of ranting) over the next few days. Year end events (and the first few from this year) are updated and ready to go live.

Strength of Schedule in MMA seems to be a topic of increasing popularity. By far the biggest problem I see when MMA fans try to discuss Strength of Schedule though is that the people aren’t all talking about the same stat. I’ve discussed Strength of Schedule for MMA fighters before, but feel each approach should get its own write-up.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have an event where after it’s done we just talk about wins and losses? Here it is the day after the ultimate fighter finale and at best the winner of the season is the number three story. Seems kind of silly to me, so I’m going to start off talking about the winner…

Recently I’ve noticed a growing trend of people trying to claim someone can’t be “top 10″ because they haven’t beaten “top 10″ people. As a whole the term “top 10″ is incredibly flawed, but I’m going to try to navigate it as best I can during this rant while I explore this perception that some MMA fans have.

There is a situation brewing that I think is semi-interesting (slash) semi-retarded. I’m going to layout what I know, speculate on what I suspect, and then hopefully have someone set me straight…
